27. An even better analogy would be a similar experiment with a Fermi gas to detect the magnitude of the BCS gap parameter. Unfortunately, it turns out that in general there is hardly any signature of the BCS transition in the scattering wave function, basically because in this case the mean-field interactions are too small compared to the Fermi energy.
